Based on the info around the world the two top original manufacturers of brakes are Akebono and Brembo.

Akebono is oem to Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Subaru, Isuzu and all other Japan domestic auto/truck makers, overseas customers are GM, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, Porsche, Mercedes & etc..., they also supply brake parts to Japan's bullet trains(Shinkansen), Japan's elevators, hypercars like Mclaren and F1 Mclaren racing and Japan's windmills, Japanese motorcycles, industrial heavy equipments and etc...

Brembo is oem to Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette and Mercedes, overseas customers are Ford, GM, Fiat, Nissan and others. Also Brembo supplies to a F1 team.

ATE is oem to most of the German car manufacturers like Mercedez Benz, BMW, Porsche, Volkswagen and etc...

I plan on using Brembo pads on my Fozzie within the month or so. It is cheaper than the pads sold by Motor Image.

You do know the Brembo aftermarket pads that are sold to Southeast Asia and China are Made in China right? Since Brembo bought a Chinese manufacturer of brake pads in 2015. If you inspect the Brembo sticker label they mentioned that they are Made in China, instead of the Italian made ones they are quite very dirty on the wheels.

You do know that smart phones, appliances, shoes, and almost everything are made in China. That does not make them lower in quality. They just moved the factories in China but companies set global standards on their products.

Actually the problem does not lie in made in China alone.

Brembo simply bought a Chinese domestic brake pads manufacturer which was not Brembo originally in the first place not using Brembo's moulds and original materials. They bought the company in 2016.

Also the company they bought wasn't original equipment manufacturer to any of the car manufacturers. It was simply an aftermarket brake manufacturer.

Try to compare side by side or even the brake materials Brembo in Europe makes compared to the one manufactured by the company they bought and you would see the very big difference in quality wise.

A bit OT & a bit different...
This reminds of pre Mondragon Ph-made Itahan sneakers that carried the Nike brand & swoosh....way way back. Pretty sure the Oregonian set em straight.
W/ the chink factory, at least it was bought by Brembo.
But both kinda taste like same duping.[emoji16]

The domestic China factory was bought with all their domestic China equipments included with the sale. Because Brembo wanted to have a share in the Asian market so they wanted to have a product that can be a bit more low cost compared with their Europe counterpart factory.

The Chinese domestic company was only established in 2001 which Brembo bought in 2016. So that company has only been in brake manufacturing for 19 years in total.

The Chinese manufacturing plant now owned by Brembo is still using their original equipment and moulds & etc... which is different with Brembo European equipments.

That is why you can compare Brembo that is made in Europe and made in China and you will see the differences are very far with each other. Try putting the China made and the European made side by side and you'll see the far differences in manufacturing quality and technology.

I don't think Brembo will lower their quality just because it is made in china. Technology will still be brembo but not design for racing since para sa passenger cars. Either just the same quality as stock pads or slightly better. Sa price palang mataas din compare sa pambansang bendix. Just wondering which is better Akebono pads na made in japan or this brembo?

Yung Akebono Made in Japan pads sa Philippine market doesn't sell semi-metallic, all of them are Ceramic formulas na. Kasi Akebono has standards to follow sa US, Europe, Japan and etc... All of their pads are Ceramic. Kaya compared with other brands makikita mo din ang formula ng Akebono napaka layo lalo na sa brake dust almost minimal dust sa Akebono.

Many complain of heavy brake dust but as long as it’s working well, then all good.

True, too....but you know where I'm coming from...DIY...even the washes, bai.[emoji853] Caked dust can be punishing on your back & the wheels. There are pad options out there that offer the combo of performance, low dust, & better bang4buck. I usually go for those when the stock ones go.
